Default LePera barebones and battery cover

Just put a barebones on my WG and am having a little issue with the seat and the battery cover. The corner of the cover is very annoying on the bottom of my thigh, mostly when stopped and my right foot is on the ground.
Anyone else with a barebones have this problem and found a way to fix it?
Wondering if anyone has a different cover that is rounded on top or something, so the square point is gone.
Any ideas or fixes you guys have found?

You can replace the cover with a rounded one and the corner wont irritate you anymore.

I found the same problem on mine but it's the fuse box cover on the other side that bugs me.

I see you have a different battery cover, from what I can tell that one won't fit the WG, hard to tell how it is mounted in the HD catalog photos. Looks like you and 07bobber have the same one, so perhaps it has a better profile for this seat.

HD makes a one piece cover that has rounded corners.
I have it on my 2005.
The Lepera solo seats are very narrow, which is probably why you notice it.

I guess our covers are different but I don't have any issues. Can't even tell if I'm touching the box. I do notice that my right leg has more of a tendency to rub against my a/c cover with the barebones though due to it being so narrow. Not a problem so far though.

Is this the one you are referring to?
